"Please tell me which one of your rights are violated by two men having sex with one another in the privacy of their house, behind closed doors and windows."

That "in the privacy" fallacy has been blown out of the water at least twice on this thread, and you show no indication of having even noticed.

Surely it couldn't be that you did notice, that you realize it's not about "privacy" but about an activist agenda, and you're still repeating it.

Answer the question.

The actual issue beoing discussed is whether there should be laws against homosexual sodomy, acts are criminalized when the commission af that act violates one person's rights in one way or another.

There a sea of difference between arguing in favor of the BSA's right to free association, and their setting standards for membership, whether the United Way has a right to withhold funds from anyone (which they do as well), and whether sodomy laws are equitable and stupid.

What you will not understand, is that criminalizing sodomy based on little more than your feelings on the subject, will simply add fuel to the activist agenda.

Nothing you can do has the power to overcome an American citizen's rights under the Constitution, and the more you try to beat them down, the more activists you'll create.

Concentrate on the things that matter, and not on the no-win fights. If you say "no" to any sexual education beingh taught in school (or are you in favor of the government teaching sexual education to our kids?) then you will defeat the "gay" lobby demanding that homosexual sex be taught alongside heterosexual sex, without providing them with the strawman of "discrimination".

That's just one example out of many.

There are two, or maybe even more issues here.

I believe that the government does not belong in the bedroom of ANY citizen, thus the "privacy" issue, and I also believe that all people's bedroom behavior needs to remain in their bedroom, which is why I oppose the "gay" agenda or any agenda which seeks to neutralize or even eliminate my parental role.

Two distinct issues and I can easily separate one from the other.
